The ESTANCIA 1 is one of the few big cattle farms in Misiones for sale, that is equipped with an entire infrastructure (including power). The farm is suited for livestock and arable farming as well as pine and yerba mate plantations. The region is distinguished for its very fertile soils and very high amount of precipitation. The potential of an increase in value for land in the region is very high at the moment. The same land is being dealt at 5 times the value in Paraguay and even at 8 to 12 times in Brazil. The neighbouring estate is owned by a German.

The farm is located directly next to the asphalted Highway 14, the most important connection between Buenos Aires and the North-East of Argentina. The next city is only 25 km away. The distance to the major cities & the falls of Iguazu is only 150 km. The farm is bordering directly onto Brazil, is close to a national park and holds a very high game population including: partridge, hare, rabbit, fox, lynx, different wild boar breeds, peccary/javelina, different small deer breeds, tapir, jaguar, cougar, etc.

The farm provides 2.018 ha of shaded pasture (1.700 ha Brizantha, 160 ha Brizantha-Tansania, 158 ha of Brizantha-Estrella). This grassland is split up into 63 plots with a total of 173 km of fences, which consist of at least 5 or 6 wires.

The pine plantation is 180 ha big (2011: 107 ha, 2014: 73 ha). Due to the rapid growth rates in the region the cultivation of pine and eucalyptus proves to be very interesting.
